Together with its subscribers, Nextory shares a great passion for literature of all kinds and strives to be an independent and natural place where everyone can easily find their next story.

Shadi Bitar, CEO & Founder

Nextory was founded based on the idea that reading should be affordable and accessible for everyone.

The Story of Nextory

The story of Nextory actually began in Syria, where the two founders of Nextory grew up. Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki then came to Sweden when they were 10 years old. Ever since, books have been an important part of their lives. Also, having seen a dictator limit the access to literature, the preservation of democracy has become an important topic for them both. In 2015, Shadi and Ninos thought to themselves: Let’s make books more available! That was the starting point of Nextory, and the app was released in 2015.
